I use the AWGS database module for my Juiced.GS subscription list, and so
far haven't suffered any catastrophic losses. Of course, I never turn my
back on it, either, and don't ask it to do too much. I always back up my
files after updating, and even then I verify that the file is good before
doing backups. I keep more than one backup, and stagger the updating process
on those backups.

I know, it would probably be wise to move my entire database to AppleWorks,
or even to my PC. I'm considering those options just to be safe. But so far,
everything works well for me.

The only times I've had problems with corrupted files, etc., is after using
the Find function. If I Find something, make a change to that field, then
save the file, I occasionally find the entire file currpted and unusable the
next time I open it. Pretty scary ....
